Yes last April! Almost 7 hours in the scorching sun! I still regret for not wearing full sleeves. Most of the tan has gone but there is still a noticeable amount of it left.

@kedar, in the concrete jungle all we can fnd is cockroaches :) - i live in the outskirts of the city.
@Sanjay, they make sudden appearance after the rains start and the weather cools down. usually in places where there is grass and the soil is not sticky kind of.
